Try checking the EFI Relay.

When I first bought my '91, it had an issue very similar to what you are describing. I did a little bit of reading and found that it seemed to be a EFI Relay issue. I bought a new relay, never had the starting issue since. Be sure that the new relay that you purchase has a metal housing like the factory Toyota piece. The first relay I purchsed was all plastic and didn't last long before it "melted down".

Best way to know if it's a EFI Relay issue: If your Cruiser is not starting, check to see if the Check Engine Light is lit when you have the key turned to the on position. If not lit, the relay is not allowing the ignition system to power.

Good luck!
